[QUOTE="i13, post: 71383, member: 21708"] The 240V thing is partly why I suggested using 24V AC instead. As far as I know (check with others here before trying it because you DON'T want to get it wrong) you can just get a 24V AC power supply and use it to supply the power for 8 of the 16 channels (I can't remember which 8 it works for). Many light sets have 24V AC between their plugpack and controller and you could check if any of yours do. That way the LOR AC controller with a 24V AC power supply would just replace the original plugpack that came with your light sets. DC control is still what I use because it is cheaper and the end result lets you control the channels within the 3 wire light sets. I wouldn't recommend buying ropelights for the AC controllers but they'd work if you already have them. Unlike strips, you can't repair ropelights or cut them to size. Some of them are low voltage too. Chat has helped me a lot too; I really only have the more experienced ACL members to thank as they were (and still are) very welcoming and helpful for me. It's a bit late but I do recommend posting your first shopping list before actually ordering because there are little things to add to the order that make setting up much easier. There are also other things to consider such as which lights can share a controller. I'll see you in the family area soon :). [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
